OPERATION
CHECK BEFORE STARTING
Always carry out the items in this section before starting the
engine each day.
CHECK COOLANT LEVEL, ADD WATER
Do not open the radiator cap unless necessary. When check-
ing the coolant, always check the radiator reserve tank when
the engine is cold.
1. Open the rear door on the left side of the machine and check
that the cooling water level is between the FULL and LOW
marks on radiator reserve tank (1)(shown in the diagram on
the right). If the water level is low, add water through the
water filler of reserve tank (1) to the FULL level.
2. After adding water, tighten the cap securely.
3. If the reserve tank becomes empty, first inspect for water
leaks and then fill the radiator and the reserve tank with
water.
CHECK OIL LEVEL IN ENGINE OIL PAN, ADD OIL
1. Open the engine hood.
2. Remove dipstick (G) and wipe the oil off with a cloth.
3. Insert dipstick (G) fully in the oil filler pipe, then take it out
again.
4. The oil level should be between the H and L marks on dipstick
(G)
If the oil level is below the L mark, add engine oil through oil filler
(F).
For details of the oil to use, see "USE FUEL, COOLANT
AND LUBRICANTS ACCORDING TO AMBIENT TEMPER-
ATURE" on page 173.
5. If the oil is above the H mark, drain the excess engine oil from
drain plug (P), and check the oil level again.
6. If the oil level is correct, tighten the oil filler cap securely and
close the engine hood.
